Brighton ban season ticket holder for two years for offensive post

Post by pushpinpussy » Tue Mar 09, 2021 3:57 pm

Im sure these guys have called our fans every name under the sun. Well surprise surprise.

Brighton & Hove Albion have banned a season ticket holder for two years after taking note of an "offensive and inappropriate" post on social media, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.

The club did not provide details of the post but its chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber said they had "zero tolerance" for abusive content.

"We expect all our supporters to adhere to some basic levels of respect... but those who choose not to will be faced with sanctions such as these and, where appropriate, criminal charges and prosecution," Barber said in a statement.

"In this instance, we thank those of our supporters who highlighted the posting to the club. As a result, the individual concerned has had their season ticket cancelled and a two-year ban imposed.

"We have stopped short of naming the individual or highlighting the post and we would request others to do the same as we do not wish to further highlight the behaviour or cause additional offence."

Brighton are 17th in the standings with 26 points after losing 2-1 to Leicester City over the weekend and the south-coast club sit outside the relegation zone only due to goal difference.

Firstly, well done to Brighton & Hove Albion for taking this action. We need all clubs doing it. I'd also say well done to them for not highlighting the post.

We had a situation on here a couple of days ago that had been and gone by the time I became aware of it. One poster has been banned permanently, and he now runs the risk of his details being passed on to the police, but what also really concerned me was the number of posters who jumped on the thread to respond. It made it more difficult to deal with. But at the same time, a big thanks to those who reported it.

Seems to be getting more common. You just have to wonder what goes through peoples minds to post some things. BBC reporting a story about pictures of abused women next to one of Jurgen Klopp. Tagline being something like 'Beaten at home during lockdown' shared online.

The bloke concerned isn't bothered by the ban, someone's already asked him if it's away games only from now on and he's said yes.

Might not be, but it could potentially discourage others from repeat behaviour which can only be a good thing, surely we can agree on that.

I agree the ban is a good thing, I've seen what he said and he's a moron for it.

Great to see. I also like the sound of this:

A few people should be booted from here for trolling. Hopefully the start of these idiots having to think twice before posting.

It's all extremely sad. There are keyboard warriors everywhere now (including one or two on here that will spout at someone whilst sat in the comfort of their own home but are probably the least likely to say the same thing to someone face-to-face). I'd really welcome a complete ban of social media altogether (I know it'll never happen for many reasons!)

I don't know which post or poster Tony's referring to regarding a ban and possible police action but it just shows you how careful the mods have to be and also how difficult their job is.

No club's fans are immune from this nonsense - it wasn't that long ago we had a poster banned for making homophobic comments against yup, you guessed it, Brighton fans. I've forgotten the poster's name but he's still active on here occasionally....

Lest we get too holier than thou about all this, I think it's time to remember the mods' rules regarding the board's content are to prevent the kind of rubbish we've been hearing about.

I think I saw the post as I went to report it but it had already been reported and yes it was homophobic comments included in it so you are right, even if the post that CT refers to isn't the same one I saw and tried to report, we have a selection of posters on here that feel all too comfortable with making homophobic comments without a 2nd thought.

Yet still people wonder why we haven't got an openly gay footballer in the top 4 leagues in England.

Don't really see that, as the Burnley Police have spotters at every away game who are on the lookout for such fans. So don't really see banned fans risking it.

Without knowing all the details, well done to Brighton for their swift action, and even if this makes some people think twice before posting abusive messages then it might haver the desired effect, now whether it will is another question, but it's good to finally see a club taking action to try and stamp out this behaviour at least.

Banned fans certainly get in games, I've seen them myself and a poster on the Club survey thread explained how they get tickets for banned fans. The trouble with being a club with a high number of banned fans, the spotters don't know them all.

I was sat in a car outside the Turf on the day the tickets went on sale for the Reading away play off game, the queues were ridiculously long.

We were opposite the Bob Lord corporate entrance, and we saw a friend who asked how many we had, we said we didn't as we had no season tickets, no points and a 3 year away game banning order from the courts and a life time ban from the Turf in the group, and the rumours are there's less than 500 left, whilst there must be over a thousand still in the queue.

He asked how many we wanted, and said leave it with me. He made a call there and then, and said I've got your tickets, i just need to wait for the sold out sign/announcement.
We waited nervously for half an hour, he went in got the tickets and came out and said there you go, his relative only worked in the club shop or ticket office :lol: :lol:

So off we trotted down to Reading, and the worst bit of it was, we were spotted and on TV at full time celebrating away, couldnt make it up.

Same happened for Charlton other season.

It happens a lot, and it's fair enough, everyone wants to watch their team, especially in the big games.

The common mistake you are making & what you fail to realise is that 1 person’s account regarding underhand ticket availability is applicable throughout every single game throughout the leagues, it’s a easy enough mistake to make😃

Sorry but last Friday in response to a post which said that a banned supporter had been able to get a ticket, you seemed to express surprise that this had happened. You made no mention of actually having seen banned fans yourself!

Hard to know if a longer ban may have been appropriate but it's pretty much the perfect way to deal with this sort of thing and the world will be a much better place if other organisations followed suit. A massive well done to BHAFC.

Basically to summarise I was kind of agreeing with you regarding some people’s difficulties attending matches whilst banned, another poster raised a post supporting underhand ticket availability circumnavigating usual protocol when purchasing, I can also obtain tickets whenever without problem as I know people, but just because me & another poster have contacts regarding this, doesn’t necessarily mean everybody else is in the same boat & it’s probable that some people will struggle faced with a different set of circumstances, hope this explains it for you,

... Surprised that people were going out of their way knowingly buying tickets for banned fans
Mistakenly I thought banned fans were buying off touts, or the away clubs when they sell returned tickets
The point is banned fans get in games.

Are you sure that the ones you're talking about hadn't served their ban and had it lifted? We had 1 such fan who used to travel with us. I know others who are banned but never seen them at a game since they received it. They say that it's just not worth trying it, knowing that the Spotters will be there.

100% know they were banned at the time

100% certain that the Spotters don't recognise every banned fan.. High profile one yes, the majority no.... A beard, cap, scarf etc works wonders

Just because you're banned from Turf Moor whether that's for a period or for life, doesn't meant you cant go to the other 91 football league grounds.

Burnley can ban as many fans as they like from entering Turf Moor, but they cannot stop them going into other grounds across the country.

It's great to see more and more clubs taking these stances, and people really need to be wary of things they say whether in "jest or banter"

People think on here is bad, that twitter seems horrendous, I'm not sure why anyone would go on it. Are there any positives to being on it? If so they seem few and far between

No way am I a big fan of social media but it shouldn't be closed down as mentioned by some posters, it does many good things.
For example, Roma football club openly do missing person reports of people around the world and they have found many people doing this. Marcus Rashford highlighting hunger and child poverty was a massive success. It gives people a platform to follow their passions. Many people write articles for pleasure and can self promote and build a following. Sometimes, this can even bring professional work and career changes, etc. etc.
It needs so much more policing by the companies, which hopefully is the next step to silencing hate comments.

Your post referred to a person with a 3 year banning order, issued by the courts, which you were more than happy being involved in getting that person tickets for away games

What can I say ban or no ban, people will take risks to attend big games like, reading, Wembley or Chatlton.

Those days are what fans dream of and live for.

Just because supporters clubs or club staff pass those tickets on to those people doesnt mean they will know if that person is or has been banned.
If they get away with it they win, if they dont I'm sure more slaps on the wrists will be distributed.

But like all things if the system is open to be abused or wrongly used, and there's not enough people wanting change, then theyll be no change and the cycle continues.

Don't really see that, as the Burnley Police have spotters at every away game who are on the lookout for such fans. So don't really see banned fans risking it.
